client-identifier
Use this entry to designate the client identifier for the session.
Syntax
client-identifier = client_identifier_valueDescription
This identifier is added to the credential as the client_identifier attribute and is validated on subsequent requests to ensure that the client does not change.
Options
- client_identifier_value
- The
client identifier value can be in either of the following formats:
- CLIENT_IP
-
The client IP address from the network connection is used as the identifier.
- HTTPHDR{<name>}
-
The contents of the HTTP header, which is identified by <name>, is used as the client identifier. If the HTTP header is missing on the initial request, no identifier is added for the session.
Usage
This stanza entry is optional.
Note: If failover cookies are used, add the client_identifier
credential attribute to the failover cookie by modifying the
[failover-add-attributes] and [failover-restore-attributes]
stanzas. This step ensures that the client identifier can persist
across a failover event.
Default value
None
Example
client-identifier = CLIENT_IP
client-identifier = HTTPHDR{X-Forwarded-For}
